I was a chubby kid. Even though I enjoyed sports, exercise just wasn’t something that I was interested in. If I had been a part of something like New York City’s The Fit Pit, maybe it wouldn’t have taken me until my Senior year in high school to get into decent shape. The Fit Pit “is an award-winning youth health fitness company which runs ‘Superhero Academy,’ an innovative, incentive-based fitness program for children, utilizing a superhero ranking system.” Personal trainers for kids may sound a little ridiculous, but if we can beat childhood obesity, we’ll be well on our way to solving many of the health issues that currently plague adults. Now, there have been gyms for kids before, but what makes The Fit Pit stand out (besides the superhero theme) is that they offer “a strong educational backdrop” that teaches kids the basics about fitness and nutrition.
Now, I know that I said that I was done with Summer internships before I took a two week vacation, but I keep coming across opportunities, so I’m going to share them with you. I found out about The Fit Pit from Robin Herman, the Director of The Fit Pit. She told me that one of her interns is moving back home, and she’s looking for a few college students to get started as soon as possible. She’s looking for interns in Business Development and Physical Therapy/Sciences; however, I’m sure that she’d be happy to hear you if you bring something else valuable to the table. The internships are unpaid, and you can reach out to Robin at shherman1@gmail.com.
